new seedling chrysanthemum, named Mrs. Cope, in honor, 

 we presume, of the lady of the President of the Society. A 

 premium was awarded for it. Mr. Kilvington has been 

 very successful in raising seedling chrysanthemums, and 

 at the same meeting he was awarded a 5/;eci«/ premium for 

 a beautiful display of seedlings. 



Mr. Feasfs Seedling Azaleas. — Mr. Feast is now offer- 

 ing for sale plants of his new seedling Azalea cremeria, 

 which is stated to be a cross between Rhododendron and 

 Azalea phsenicea. It has very dark green foliage and large 

 clusters of rosy crimson flowers, very showy. Mr Feast 

 has numerous other seedlings, many of which are said to 

 be exceedingly beautiful. — Ed.

tetrdniira Lindl. Tetrandrous Candollea. A green-house plant ; growing 2 feet high ; with 

 yellow flowers; appearing in spring; a native of Swan River; increased by cuttings; grown 

 in peat, loam and sand. Bot. Reg. t. 50, J843. 



A new and rather interesting green-house plant, with ob- 

 long cuneate dentate leaves, and solitary yellow flowers, at 

 the termination of all the principal shoots ; remarkable also, 

 '' for the large size and orange color of the aril of its seeds." 

 It is a native of Swan River, and was raised from seeds re- 

 ceived from thence. This species grows freely in any good 

 soil, but prefers a compost of peat, loam and sand. It 

 blooms well in a pot, but when it can be turned out into 

 the soil does much better ; but whether potted or planted 

 out, like many New Holland plants, the neck (or base of 

 the stem) should be a little elevated, to prevent any danger 

 of damp in winter. Water liberally in summer and more 

 cautiously in winter. Easily increased by cuttings under 

 ordinary management. {Bol. Reg., Oct.)

 appearing in April and May ; a native of New Holland; increased by cuttings; grown in 

 peat loam and sand. Bot. Reg. t. 69, 1843. 



•' Really a beautiful Swan River shrub, particularly well 

 adapted to pot culture, on account of the neatness of its ap- 

 pearance at all seasons." The shrub is erect in its habit, with 

 obovate, oblong, perfoliate glaucous leaves, from the axils 

 of which spring the flowers, which are large, bright yellow, 

 and as showy as those of the old Hibbertta volubilis, and 

 quite free from the offensive odor of that species. When
